As of 2019, moms and dads now get the same benefit. All new parents will receive 10 weeks of fully paid parental leave, and birth mothers will have eight weeks of paid leave for physical recovery for a total of 18 paid weeks. In addition, all new parents may take an additional 10 weeks of unpaid leave. As we transition to the new benefit, we’re also giving employees who welcomed a child during 2018 an additional three weeks of paid leave to be used in 2019.
